= Lm_sensors - Linux hardware monitoring =


== About this project ==

This is the home page for the effort of building and providing some essential tools for monitoring the hardware health of Linux systems containing hardware health monitoring hardware such as the LM78 and LM75. [wiki:ProjectInformation Read more here.]

This ongoing project includes general libraries and hardware-specific software. Much of the work done could not have been done without the many knowledgeable programmers who laid down the foundation.

'''Call to Device Manufacturers:''' Our efforts are now concentrated on adding support for new devices. If you wish to send us samples, datasheets, or project donations (hardware, software, etc.), please drop us an [wiki:FeedbackAndSupport email].
